There's a reason why there are so damn many Sonic compilations out there. Even now the gameplay shines even if the presentation fails to impress. In amongst all the dregs of Sonic games out there, it's great to see four of his best adventures brought together for the DS. The graphics aren't too hot thanks to the DS's resolution capabilities but the games look nice enough on the small screen and the brilliantly catchy/maddeningly irritating music sounds great and is nice to revisit.

Sonic Classic Collection is a functional port of some fantastic gems of the game world, packing plenty of fun for the price, but as a package it's a fairly utilitarian offering.
